Exploration, Emotion, Experiences
That’s what the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course is all about. You don’t have to be “advanced” to do it – it’s designed to advance on your dive, so you can start immediately once you get your PADI Open Water Diver certification.
The course helps you build confidence and expand your diving skills through different Adventure Dives.
Try different specialties while gaining experience under the supervision of your PADI Instructor.
You record dives and develop skills while finding new ways to have fun diving.
Get credit! Each Adventure Dive can serve as a credit for the first dive of the corresponding PADI Specialty Course.
If you have already taken a specialty diving course, ask your instructor if you have obtained credit for an Adventure Dive.
Who should take this course?
PADI (Junior) Open Water Divers who are at least 12 years old are prepared to step up and enroll in an Advanced Open Water Diver course.
Young divers can only participate in certain Adventure Dives – Ask your PADI Instructor.
If you are already Adventure Diver, you only need to complete two more Adventure Dives to get the Advanced Open Water Diver certification.
What will you learn in this Diving Course?
You will plan your learning schedule with your instructor by choosing from a long list of Adventure Dives.
There are two mandatory dives – Depth and Underwater Navigation – and you will choose the other three for a total of five dives.
During the Deep Adventure Dive, you will learn how to plan dives to deal with the physiological effects and challenges of diving deeper.
The Underwater Navigation Adventure Dive polishes your compass navigation skills and helps you navigate better using flapping cycles, visual references and time.
The other knowledge and skills you acquire will vary with your interests and adventures – photography, buoyancy control, fish identification, wreck exploration and much more.
You can earn academic credits for the Advanced Open Water Diver course.
Diving Team for the Advanced Course
In addition to using basic diving equipment, you will need a compass and a diving knife or diving tool.
You will also use specialized equipment depending on the Adventure Dives you choose. For example, you will obviously use a dry suit for the Dry Suit Adventure Dive.
Your PADI Instructor will explain the equipment you need and may suggest additional equipment, such as a diving light for night diving or a lift bag for search and recovery diving.
